Also he was probaly holding out as late as he could in hopes of a big deal, which he didn't really get.<BR/><BR/>Tek is Tek, expectations are low and I think everyone expects Theo to bring in a young kid for Tek to tutor, we'll see how it all plays out.Tim Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500281703391623368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022434008227965275.post-69836270308413439652009-02-11T22:26:00.000-05:002009-02-11T22:26:00.000-05:00I'll take Tek, Abreu can't catch, and even if we t...I'll take Tek, Abreu can't catch, and even if we took Abreu, where is he going to play?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022434008227965275.post-42440644916436489832009-02-11T21:52:00.000-05:002009-02-11T21:52:00.000-05:00I'll take Abreu.

I didn't get around to adding my two cents when we were debating 'Tek the first go around, but basically I think that over the last year or so I've become a bit of a skeptic when it comes to the defensive intangibles at the catcher's position. I don't doubt it has some value, but I'm not sure how much. Sure a new catcher's gonna have a drop off with the pitching staff, but really I think it's mostly just a matter of time 'til he reaches a level where you're not missing out a whole lot. So, I'll take Abreu and the steady production for $5m.
